Seeing the villagers panic, Han Yi hurried over, explained, calmed down everyone's hearts, and let everyone disperse, leaving only two or three strong villagers to prevent the ugly man from suddenly going crazy.

Yang Ning asked Han Yi to go back to the house and bring a full bowl of rice. Han Yi brought the bowl of rice, but the ugly man immediately retreated, staring at Han Yi with hostility in his eyes, not taking the bowl and chopsticks.

Yang Ning took the bowls and chopsticks from Han Yi, and smiled and said with a gentle smile: "I'm hungry, this is for food. If I'm full, I won't be hungry."

It's strange that the ugly man was full of hostility towards Han Yi and others, but when he heard Yang Ning's voice, although he was a little cautious, his hostility became much weaker.

When Yang Ning approached him, he did not retreat and dodge like he avoided Han Yi. Instead, he took the rice bowl, but did not pick up the chopsticks. He directly grabbed the food in the bowl with his hands and swallowed it voraciously, as if he had never eaten. Yang Ning saw it and knew that he must be so hungry.

However, this person had been holding the cloak with his hands and wrapped his body in it. It was hard to see his body. At this moment, he reached out to take the rice bowl and the cloak was opened. He was naked inside and was wearing only a pair of torn shorts. When Gu Qinghan saw it, she screamed "Oh" and immediately turned around.

Yang Ning could see clearly that the man's body was full of dirt, but his body was covered with dirt but could not cover up the scars on his body.

This body is bony and the crisscrossing scars are shocking. These scars are not knife wounds, but scars made of countless thin holes.

Yang Ning was naturally clear about this. He knew that this ugly man was wandering everywhere, especially when he wandered in the mountains. He would inevitably be cut and scratched by rocks and thorns. However, he didn't know how to deal with the wound, which led to scars in the wound. There were at least sixty or seventy scars of all sizes. From the upper body to the two legs, it was like a prisoner who fled out by torture.

The ugly man was sitting on the ground at this time, swallowing with relish and ignoring everything around him. Yang Ning took the opportunity to observe carefully, thinking that if this person was a lost family member of a wealthy family as he guessed, he would have been missing for a long time. Seeing his beard rolled into a large ball, it would not be possible to accumulate it in three or five months.

As for the precious bearskin cloak on his body, the original hair was already very sparse, and fortunately, the bearskin was tough. Although they were old, they were not broken.

He was wondering who this ugly man was, but he saw that the ugly man suddenly handed over the bowl of rice in his hand, looked at Yang Ning with a gaze and said, "Hungry...I'm eating..."

Yang Ning could only ask Han Yi to make another bowl, and after three bowls in a row, the ugly man seemed to be still unsatisfied. Yang Ning thought that the village was not rich, and the food for each family was already tight, so he could not let this guy eat it all the time. Seeing that the ugly man's stomach was already full, he might have to break his stomach and not let him continue to take food.

Seeing that Yang Ning had no intention of asking him to get food again, the ugly man simply wrapped his cloak again and fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Han Yi asked someone to watch the ugly man first. The night was dark, so it was naturally impossible to report to the official at this time. He planned to send someone to the yamen the next day.

He only thought Gu Qinghan was a man, so he only had a room for the rest of the two of them. Gu Qinghan felt that it was inappropriate, but it was not easy to disturb others at midnight, so he had no choice but to think that he didn't have to sleep at night, so he would be fine if he stayed up all night. When it dawned, he rushed to the Qi family's old house immediately.

The two lived in the same room, but Yang Ning didn't care. She slept on the ground very consciously. Although Gu Qinghan was reluctant to let Yang Ning suffer, she was still not able to let Yang Ning go to bed and could only lie on the bed with her clothes.

Although the ugly man was quite strange, Gu Qinghan had nothing to do with him after all, and did not care much about the ugly man's origin. She only thought that such a big change in the fiefdom, and the people had prejudice against the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion, which greatly affected the prestige of the Qi family in the fiefdom. However, she had not realized it before and was completely kept in the dark. If Yang Ning had not suggested a private visit in a private place, she would not know when to hide all this, and she secretly blamed herself in her heart.

She was thinking a lot on the bed and couldn't sleep at night. Not long after, she heard Yang Ning snoring slightly and sat up from the bed. Seeing Yang Ning lying on the ground, she felt a little unbearable. She hesitated for a moment, picked up the bed, got out of the bed and carried the bed and covered it on Yang Ning. Seeing that Yang Ning was sleeping heavily, she smiled bitterly and said softly: "Ning'er, do you know that it may not be a good thing when you grow up. Many burdens will be pressed on you in the future. You are spoiled, and you don't know if you can bear it." Youyou said: "No matter what, Sanniang will be by your side. No matter what happens, I will bear it with you." Back on the bed and lay down quietly.

Yang Ning was naturally not really asleep. He was most afraid that Gu Qinghan suddenly thought of what happened during the day and asked about the source of his martial arts, so he just pretended to go to bed early to avoid trouble.

I heard Gu Qinghan whispering beside me and felt it in my heart.

The next day, just dawn, Yang Ning was woken up by Gu Qinghan. When she got up, she looked haggard and said in surprise: "Sanniang, you won't have been sleeping all night, are you?"

Gu Qinghan shook her head slightly and said softly: "We should not delay here. We should rush back to the old house as soon as possible. There are still many things to do."

Having stood up here naturally alarmed Han Yi. The two of them washed up briefly and said goodbye to Han Yi. Han Yi was also worried that Manager Luo would be unfavorable to the two of them. Since they were about to say goodbye, they naturally did not try to keep them. When they came out, they lie not far from the door when they saw the ugly man, obviously still sleeping.

"I'll leave this person to you." Yang Ning whispered to Han Yi: "The Luo surnamed leaves a few horses and treats them as compensation for the losses in your village." Han Yi thought that you could not help you. Those few horses were sold in the whole village and could not buy one. Yang Ning didn't say much, so he went over and untied the reins of the horse, left the entrance of the village with Gu Qinghan, got on the horse and left.

The horse ran and walked for only a few miles. Yang Ning felt a shadow passing by his side. He was stunned for a moment, and then saw a figure running in front of him. He only took a look and recognized that it was the ugly man.

Gu Qinghan was also surprised and said, "Why did he keep up?"

Yang Ning stopped the horse, and the ugly man stopped in front, standing on the side of the road and looking at Yang Ning. Yang Ning looked back and saw that the village had disappeared. He looked at the ugly man again, and his face showed a look of surprise, "He...how did he catch up?"

Gu Qinghan was also shocked and said, "Is it possible... Could it be that he was chasing him with his legs?" He felt it was incredible. After leaving the village, the two horses were running. The speed of the two horses was not slow. In this moment, they had already galloped for several miles. When they first left the village, they saw this ugly man lying on the ground and asleep, but in a blink of an eye, they caught up. If it weren't for seeing it with their own eyes, Gu Qinghan would never believe that such incredible things would have happened.

Yang Ning was also shocked at this moment. He had heard that this ugly man was extremely fast. He was discovered several times when he stole chickens. He relied on his speed to escape the pursuit of the villagers. However, he had not seen him. This time, what he saw with his own eyes was much faster than what he thought, and it was completely beyond the limit of the human body. He was shocked.

The ugly man was still wrapped in a black cloak, looking at Yang Ning and repeated: "Hungry, eat!"

Yang Ning came to his senses and thought to the ugly man, "Why are you catching up? Go back to the village quickly, there will be someone there to give you food and will help you go home."

The ugly man seemed to not understand Yang Ning's words, but just looked at Yang Ning blankly and kept repeating the two sentences.

Yang Ning thought to himself whether he had a kind heart for a moment last night. This ugly man treated himself as a meal ticket. After thinking for a while, he took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it over, and said, "Give this to them, they will give you food, don't follow us anymore." He thought to himself that he had something to do with Gu Qinghan, so he couldn't bring a weird ugly man by his side.

The ugly man picked up the silver from the ground, with a hint of anger, suddenly smashed it with the silver, and roared a few times.

Yang Ning reached out to take it, and Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "Let's not bother with him. This man is from unknown origin and cannot be easily contaminated. If he can't keep up with us, he will go back to the village." He shouted and slapped his horse and left. Yang Ning did not delay, urging his horse to move forward, bypassed the ugly man and walked on the horse.

The two riders were flying and instantly ran out of Xu Yuan. Yang Ning turned around to see if the ugly man was still following. After just turning around, he saw the ugly man stepping on his legs and following his horse. His speed was definitely not below the horse. The cloak floated up behind the cloak and flew, and the ugly man seemed to fly.

Yang Ning once again held the horse down, turned his head, frowned and said, "Go back quickly, if you don't go back, I'll beat you up." He raised his hand and raised his whip and acted to whip the ugly man.

The ugly man was a little afraid and hurriedly retreated, his body shrank, looking at Yang Ning pitifully, Yang Ning shouted: "I don't have food here, I'll have something to eat when I go back to the village, so don't follow me again." He returned to the horse, patted the horse again and left.

He let the horse go for a while, and turned back again, and saw that the ugly man was still following behind, but he seemed to be scared by Yang Ning just now and opened some distance.

Yang Ning was helpless and ignored him and walked on a horse.

The two went south. At the beginning, Yang Ning turned around several times and saw the ugly man following behind, galloping for more than ten miles. The ugly man's figure was already far away. Yang Ning sighed relieved and thought that the ugly man's endurance could not match the horse after all. Although the speed under his feet was terrifying, after a long time, his physical strength could not keep up, so he was naturally far behind.

The horse was not stopping, and the rising sun was rising. Yang Ning thought that in less than two hours, he heard Gu Qinghan say in front: "Ning'er, the old house is right in front." He slowed down his horse's speed and raised his hand to point forward. Yang Ning looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a manor appeared under the vast sky, with blue bricks and red tiles connected into a piece, very conspicuous.

In front of the courtyard of the Qijia old house, there is a large pond with clear water quality. A circle around the pond, and a willow planted every few steps away. The gentle willow is set off by the old house, which has a strong ancient charm. Behind the Qijia old house is a dense green bamboo forest.

The old house is near the southwest, and there are dozens of families, but the old house of Qi family is a single family here, and there are no other families on the left, making it look a bit deserted and lonely.

It was a few decades ago, but it was quite lively here.

The Qi family was once a big family in Jiangling. Originally, there were shops in Jiangling, including Jingzhou City. However, later, the old Marquis Jinyi followed the ancestor of the Great Chu to conquer the world, donated almost all the industries, and only retained the old house of Qi family. Later, the old Marquis Jinyi and most of the clans had moved to the capital, and some of the leftover branches were also moved away from here.

The Qi family’s old house is here, so naturally no one dares to get close to this old house to build houses, which makes the old house lonely now. Only when the Qi family returns from the capital will this old house become truly lively.

Although it is just a lonely old house, this old house is a symbol, and no one dares to be disrespectful to this old house at all.

The red gate is very eye-catching. There is a stone lion on both sides of the gate of the old house, which is majestic. Yang Ning and the other two set off in front of the old house. They looked up at the door. They just simply wrote the word "Qizhai" without much embellishment.

Yang Ning glanced at Gu Qinghan, then stepped forward and locked the door knocker, knocked it a few times. At first, no one agreed. Yang Ning pressed it a few more times, and then heard a "click" sound inside. The red door opened. An old man in his fifties stuck his head out and glanced at it, asking, "This is the old house of Jinyi Hou, who are you looking for?"

"Tell Qi Hong, the Chief Prince Jinyi is back." Gu Qinghan had already dismounted and stood beside Yang Ning, his voice was cold and his beautiful face was expressionless.
